The Mission Must Go On!

In a secluded cave, its location unknown to anyone, Night Owl and Black Sha, covered in blood, stared at each other speechlessly at the information about the Moon Shadow Cult displayed in the Haotian Mirror...

Night Owl said you might not believe it... We were ordered by our sect to carry out an assassination... but before we could even succeed, the sect was gone...

So now the question is... should we continue the assassination attempt or not...?

While Night Owl was still in a daze, Black Sha spoke first, "Night Owl, now that things have come to this, tell the truth, before you came, didn't the leader tell you to kill me after you succeeded?"

Upon hearing Black Sha's words, Night Owl nodded without the slightest hesitation...

After all, things have come to this point, and Night Owl says there's nothing left to hide...

The cult leader is gone... what's the point of hiding these orders now...? Night Owl thinks he and Black Sha are now practically brothers in misfortune... Kill Black Sha?! Kill Black Sha my ass...

However, Night Owl remarked that not only was Yue Ling difficult to kill this time, but Black Sha's life was also incredibly lucky...

If they had succeeded before, Night Owl would be certain that Black Sha Fiend would be dead by now.

But now, there's no need for that...

"So what should we do now? Disband here?" Black Sha asked Night Owl again.

Black Sha said that he had done countless dirty and tiring jobs for the Moon Shadow Cult in his life... assassinations, sneak attacks, poisoning, and all sorts of insidious things.

But this assassination attempt has never been so outrageous before...

Who has ever heard of a sect sending assassins to kill someone, only to have the sect itself disappear in the process...?

In the past two days, using the information on the Haotian Mirror, Night Owl and Black Sha have conducted a series of analyses on the issue of the Moon Shadow Cult's destruction.

Qiu Tian personally traveled from the Spirit Beast Continent to this place and led his men to destroy the Moon Shadow Cult...

There are countless speculations about why Qiu Tian made his move, but without a doubt, no one has guessed correctly!

After all, if he hadn't come in person, Qiu Tian himself would never have imagined that this random assassination mission would end up being connected to Chu Xinghe.

Not to mention that he himself told others, Qiu Tian even maintained a distant, Tantai Jing in order to shut him up.

Qiu Tian was thinking, "What the hell did I do to deserve this... Why am I the one who ended up losing so much?"

As for why Qiu Tian inexplicably destroyed the Moon Shadow Cult, Night Owl believes it was because of Jiu Hai...

They witnessed Jiu Hai kill the Demon Demon Express with their own eyes, and not just once, but twice.

If the two hadn't reacted quickly enough and their Blood Escape Art hadn't been powerful enough, they would probably be dead by now...

Therefore, according to Night Owl's deduction, this time it must have been after Jiu Hai attacked the Demon Demon Express that Tantai Jing was summoned, and Tantai Jing would definitely not let Jiu Hai go...

Not only will Jiu Hai die, but given Tantai Jing's personality, he will definitely cause trouble for Qiu Tian...

Night Owl didn't know exactly how Qiu Tian and Tantai Jing resolved the matter, but Night Owl did know that Qiu Tian had to pay a considerable price to Tantai Jing's anger.

After Qiu Tian suffered a massive hemorrhage, it would be a miracle if he let the Moon Shadow Cult go...

So this is the fundamental reason for the downfall of the Moon Shadow Cult...

Night Owl was truly speechless... How did things end up like this, with the Moon Shadow Cult being wiped out?

"None of this matters to me... Shall we just disband now?" Black Sha didn't care at all whether the Moon Shadow Cult was destroyed or not.

Black Sha just wants to disband on the spot.

Upon hearing Black Sha's idea of disbanding on the spot, Night Owl gave another bitter smile.

"I'm afraid we still have to continue the mission!"

Black Sha: "???"

Black Sha Demon was completely dumbfounded... Black Sha was thinking, "Night Owl, do you even want to hear if you're speaking human language?!"

It's true we used to be part of the Moon Shadow Cult, but now that the Moon Shadow Cult is destroyed, Night Owl doesn't seem like the kind of warrior willing to live and die with the Moon Shadow Cult!

So tell me, what are you, Night Owl, after all this?

We're breaking away from the Moon Shadow Cult now. The world is vast, we'll go our separate ways from now on. Whatever the Moon Shadow Cult or whatever, we'll do whatever we want from now on!

But now you, Night Owl, still want to continue the mission? Are you out of your mind?

Night Owl looked helpless at Black Sha's complaints. Then, Night Owl rolled up his sleeve, and a red line appeared in front of Black Sha...

"Death Spirit Curse? Night Owl, aren't you that old bastard's confidant, the cult leader? He doesn't even trust you, yet he cast Death Spirit Curse on you?" Black Sha looked at Night Owl speechlessly.

The Death Spirit Curse is a secret technique of the Moon Shadow Cult, somewhat similar to a contract.

Before Night Owl came to carry out the mission, the Moon Shadow Cult personally placed a Night Owl Death Spirit Curse on him. The Death Spirit Curse would be automatically lifted once the mission was completed, but if the mission was not completed, the Death Spirit Curse would remain indefinitely. If the Death Spirit Curse was not lifted for too long...

Then the Death Spirit Curse's Death Spirit Curse will eventually activate, and it will kill the Night Owl along with the Night Owl.

Although the Moon Shadow Cult is dead, the Death Spirit Curse is still on Night Owl's body. Although the effect of the Death Spirit Curse has weakened considerably due to the Moon Shadow Cult's death, it has not completely disappeared.

In this situation, if Night Owl doesn't complete the mission, the Death Spirit Curse will not be lifted and will eventually erupt again.

Although the Death Spirit Curse not as powerful as before due to the death of the Moon Shadow Cult, its power could still cause extremely serious damage to Night Owl.

So now Black Sha wanted to pack his bags and leave, but Night Owl couldn't...

Looking at Night Owl, who was now afflicted with Death Spirit Curse, Black Sha wore a face full of disdain...

Black Sha said, "Night Owl, is this all you've got?"

They even said before that you were that old bastard's confidant, and that they trusted you completely and treated you like a trusted confidant!

And then you come out to complete a mission, and I have to put Death Spirit Curse on you?

That old bastard cult leader doesn't even treat you like a human being!

Although Black Sha's words were harsh, Night Owl could only shake his head and smile wryly after hearing them.

Although Black Sha has a sharp tongue, his words, though crude, are not without merit...

Everyone thought Night Owl was the Moon Shadow Cult's confidant, but Night Owl himself knew that the old bastard of a cult leader never trusted anyone... So Night Owl appeared glamorous, but every time he went out to complete a mission, that old bastard of a cult leader would cast a Night Owl Death Spirit Curse on him.

Only by completing the task within the specified time will you be safe; otherwise, you will face certain death.

So, in a way, Night Owl felt he wasn't much different from Black Sha...

If the mission is completed, Black Sha will die; if the mission is failed, he too will die...

"Black Sha... we can't disband yet, we still need to complete the mission!" Night Owl looked at Black Sha, Black Sha shook his head without hesitation!

"Complete the mission? I told you long ago that Yue Ling was too hard to kill... She must be one of those destined people. To complete the mission, even the Moon Shadow Cult is gone now... So, I, Black Sha, am saying this right here: even if I die, even if I jump off this back mountain, I will never complete the mission!"

Night Owl stared at Black Sha with a grim expression and said, "If you want to give up, believe me, I'll kill you right now!"

"Heh... Night Owl, you can make your move anytime, but are you going to kill me? Are you sure you don't want to die with me? Without the Tracking Spirit Orb, you won't even be able to find Yue Ling's trail. Even if you don't die in the end, you'll be tortured beyond recognition by that old bastard's Death Spirit Curse!"

"You!" Night Owl was truly speechless at Black Sha Fiend's stubbornness...

Because what Black Sha said was absolutely right. Without Black Sha's help, and without the Tracking Spirit Orb, it would have been really difficult for him to find Yue Ling's exact location...

Killing Black Sha under these circumstances would certainly not end well for him either.

Looking at the unyielding prey before him, Night Owl finally sighed, "Black Sha... Although the Moon Shadow Cult has been destroyed, I've followed that old bastard for so many years. As far as I know, the Moon Shadow Cult doesn't just have Treasure Moon Shadow Cult Number One Treasury; they have many other resources hidden in various places..."

"If you can help me complete the mission and remove the Death Spirit Curse, then I'm willing to split those resources with you! How about it?" Night Owl looked at Black Sha with a smile.

"Heh... not good... Night Owl, you think I'm an idiot, huh... I may have a sharp tongue, but that doesn't mean I'm an idiot. After this is done, once your Night Owl is lifted, you can turn around and send me on my way too. In the end Death Spirit Curse, all the benefits will be yours, while I'll die without ever knowing why, right!"

"You..." Night Owl sighed helplessly...

What Black Sha said is absolutely right; that's exactly what I thought before...

"What do you mean, 'you'? We're both old foxes, stop trying to trap me. Night Owl, you only have two choices now. The first is to kill me right now, and then you'll be tortured by that Death Spirit Curse until you're neither human nor ghost..."

"Secondly, we'll sign Heavenly Dao Contract here. I'll help you complete the mission, and in the end, we'll split all the resources equally!"

Now it was Black Sha's turn to look at Night Owl with a smile on his face...

Black Sha declared that although his strength was far inferior to Night Owl's at the moment, Night Owl had no choice but to share the resources with him, and there had to be a Heavenly Dao Contract. Otherwise, he wouldn't believe a single word Night Owl said!

Looking at the stubborn Black Sha Fiend, Night Owl was on the verge of tears, but as Black Sha had said, he had no other choice now!

Without any hesitation, Night Owl immediately activated the Heavenly Dao Contract!

Soon, with the signing of the Heavenly Dao Contract, Hei Black Sha finally revealed a smile.

Hei Sha doesn't care at all whether the Moon Shadow Cult can destroy Black Sha or not, but Black Sha says, who says I, Black Sha, am destined to be a tragedy?

I was destined to die, but now I've turned the tables... No matter what, Night Owl still has to polish my shoes.

After establishing this Heavenly Dao Contract, as long as I eliminate that Yue Ling, I can directly split the Moon Shadow Cult's resources with Night Owl.

Thinking of this, Black Sha was filled with energy!

What the hell? Why am I, Black Sha, so motivated?

Before, assassinations were just doing work for those old bastards in the Moon Shadow Cult. Now I'm doing it for myself. Once it's done, it'll all be resources. Doesn't that instantly boost my motivation?
